The Fair Share Report

1485 Rt 50

Upper, NJ 08270

The town corrects for market drift once a year — but only on average. This report measures whether this house drifted with the herd or away from it.

Step 1 · Market value

≈ $435,299

Likely range $362,033 – $492,230, from 12 comparable Upper sales in the past 18 months, at this home's 1,457 sq ft.

Step 2 · The Director's Ratio

56.65%

The state's official measure of how far Upper assessments sit below market value — republished every October, applied town-wide. A $435,299 home should be assessed near $246,597.

Step 3 · Assessed value

$172,400

Set at the last town-wide revaluation and mostly frozen since. That's $74,197 below what the ratio math suggests (30.1%).

Keep quiet and enjoy it

This home's assessment ratio sits below the Upper pack — the frozen assessment is treating it kindly. It pays less than a fresh look would charge.
